quality gloves

From CHARLOTTE
The Unix H20 is a beautifully crafted sport touring glove for fall/early winter riding. True to Revit fashion it is of high quality, pricey, and a size too small (be sure to order a size up). The insulation value is between fleece only, and a winter glove; i.e. it will do well in 50 degree weather but gets a little chilly below that.The double staps secure the glove well, although the gauntlet is small for those preferring to slide them over the sleeve (I wear them over inner liner, under the outer sleeve) Handlebar feel is very good for a winter glove.
Pros Fashionable, Rugged, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

The details in this waterproof-racing boot make all the difference Uppers are constructed from full grain leather Inner liner used is exclusive Gaerne Drytech to keep your feet dry. Interior design is really comfortable and the hinged design offers excellent flexibility Wrap Around heel cup New front plate, extra ankle padding and double side closing system with zipper as well as wide Velcro closure Sole is made of non-slip and is oil resistant rubber

These boots are made for riding

These Italian-made boots are the most sport(tour)-oriented sibling of the non-racing family. They are high quality, made of leather with ample protection troughout. The boots are articulated forwards, with a strong thin sole and narrow heel. In other words, they are magic on the bike, but sep off and they are good for walking to your office; no more.
The boots are very comfortable (after break in). They have large flex panels front and back, easing movement, and good ajustment for tucking in pants. The mutiple reflective panels are a nice touch. The aquatech does its job well.
My only problem was sizing. I am a 9.5 us/43 European with a wide foot. The size 10 (marked 44 1/2) was however far too big. I now have the size 9 (marked 43), however with no room to spare.
These boots are recommended for the serious sports and sport-touring rider. They will keep you warm and dry in cold weather and offer great feel and feedback for daylong stints.
Pros Fashionable, Comfortable, High Quality
Cons Sizing
Yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome Jacket

From CHARLOTTE, NC
This is a sportbike jacket with a cruiser fit; loose in the shoulders and taped at the wrists and waist. It is nicely designed with attention to details. The leather and workmanship is a cut above the others. The arm and shoulders are although articulated, not restrictive. The jacket vents well and is comfortable from 60 degrees up.
Get them while you still can.
Pros Fashionable, Great Value, Rugged, Comfortable
Cons Closeout
Yes, I recommend this product.

Stylish protection

The Icon Arc Mesh Pants are a stylish solution to those who want more protection than just jeans, or want to go places with just shorts. These are overpants (though no full zip on the side). They fit well over your street duds in the waist and seat, but are loose around the legs and ankles. They have adjustable knee armor (velcroed between the inner liner). However, it may shift in a wipe out. There are pockets aplenty. The black pants look stealthly subdued.
Pros Great Value, Fashionable, Comfortable
Cons limited adjustability
Yes, I recommend this product.

Light or Dark Tint?

From CHARLOTTE, NC
The Shark RSI tinted face shield are of the same great quality as the clear one. The light tinted visor equals the shade of car windows: great for bright cloudy or hazy days but not sufficient in clear sun. The dark shield is darker than many others. It is your friend in bright sun; you fiend on cloudy or overcast days. Unfortunately this forces eyeglass wearers to make a hard choice.
Pros Fashionable, Rugged
Cons expensive
Yes, I recommend this product.

Solid economy bags

These fieldsheer bags are a great solution for the occasional overnighter. Although they have a re-enforced bottom, they do not have rigid side supports. Therefore they might not fit all bikes. The bags provide good volume for several days. Strap adjustment is hook and loop, and the foam protection pads are a nice touch. The zippers are economy; hardcore commuter seek another bag. Those who need saddle bags for occasional use will find these fieldsheers to be a great deal.
Pros Great Value, Fashionable, adjustable
Cons won't fit every bike
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Helmet
PostedAugust 11, 2008

From CHARLOTTE, NC
The Shark RSI meets DOT and the superior and more realistic ECE 22-05 safety standard. It is a well padded, comfortable, solid helmet, with great craftsmanship and graphics. The ventilation is simple and very effective. The helmet fits true to size. The face shields are thick and extremely easy to change. The available light tint face shield is for bright overcast or mildly sunny days. The available dark shield is very dark, only useful in full sun.
On the flip side, the helmet does eyeglass wearers no favor. There are no ear pockets and putting your glasses on takes skill; not enough to deter me though. Also, the helmet is somewhat noisy at higher speeds with the face shield fully closed.
Overall, a great helmet.
Pros Rugged, Good ventilation, Safe, Comfortable
Cons Eyewear unfriendly, Wind noise
Yes, I recommend this product.
